Comprehensive....

et — 9/2/2006 4:32:10 AM (archived)

I remind you that this board is populated and run by many of these mere software jocks who despite their lowly station, have a rigorous scientific outlook on things. This is not just a textbook stance on issues mind you, but an outlook dedicated questioning and reason. Whether I'm a butcher, baker, or rocket ship maker shouldn't matter. Never mind how you can supposedly intuit what I do from my opposing your opinion.

I'll repeat that I think as much as you try to pop your carotid stressing it, this issue is NOT a scientific issue. It's stylistic at best. Measuring the properties of the Pluto-Charon system, and the resulting discoveries and theories, is the science. It will depend NOT-AT-ALL at whether it's classified as a planet, dwarf planet, pluton, TNO, or an icy Oort turd.

And yes, you are blowing this out of proportion, and carpet trolling the HZ as a result. Time to pour a mug-o-shine and crank the Skynard.
